Samsung S5 - Headphone Jack, USB, and replaceable back.
Once again Apple claims innovation that existed for several years. And sadly the rest of the industry has followed blindly into this corner, leaving me without any upgrade path for 3+ years now.
Sorry, but security violations are criminal offenses. Just like adultery in the military is a federal offense. But the "lock her up" mentality is maybe a bit extreme. Usually its just a revocation of all clearances, and blacklisted from ever holding a position of trust ever again. And maybe some fines.
Do grammar standards apply to headlines? Haven't they always been a little obtuse on purpose? I'd much prefer the grammar nazi's edit the somewhat unintelligible summaries than the headlines.
The problem is the changeover period that would be needed between self-driving and current meat-sack driven. If we could instantly retool and prepare roads properly, then this could be delivered tomorrow. The problem is standards, and dealing with the unknown.
We have the technology today to accomplish a completely driver free society, but we don't have the economic factors drive this innovation into the common place. And it would not scale well across every road in every location. Driverless cars in the hills of Tennessee? Farm Truck in downtown Metropolis?
Separate the conspiracy from the facts... There are issues with Tesla cars, and that has nothing to do with Koch / big oil / aliens / illuminati. It may not be as sensational as the headlines, but Tesla needs to learn their lessons in the car arena and spend more QA time on their features. Look at the Model X, it is so chock full of "features" that simple things like doors are issues.
I looked into the Model X when my Allroad decided to eat oil, and I was really turned off by the amount of shiny tech on every aspect of the car. This combined with the lack of attention on the simple things really turned me off of the purchase. Maybe in 5 years when they realize that certain things just need a simple analog component, and not some wizz bang ipad driven button.
Yes, your argument sounds reasonable, if you have never been briefed on how to handle classified information. There is NO context that any leaking of any information is ever allowed. If it was deemed mission essential that the information be disseminated, she should have talked with the FSO to properly release the information in question.
Now, did she do something criminal, that is a fair question. Violating a national security policy is typically grounds for dismissal, with some folks let go after walking into a facility with their cell phone too many times. But Clinton is in a special class of people, along with a national security advisor that was caught sneaking documents out in their pants https://fas.org/irp/congress/2... . Typically those people make an oops, and slowly fade into history. The difference is that Mrs. Clinton is not fading, and is attempting to gain access to even more classified information, which she has a proven track record of mishandling in the interest of personal expediency.
If anything, this story shows that Clinton was willingly deteriorating departmental security measures to maintain her ability to control her professional communications. Regardless of the why (Bug, Misconfiguration, contractor incompetence), she valued personal protection over protection of her agency. And this is the basic argument that I have against her current run. Every time she has been "tested," she consistently comes out dirty, but not "legally" responsible.
So, basically giving users the original OS disk? Like they did in the early days? I guess this is a good sign, moving away from the current model of "media free" on the HDD images, with no recourse to removing all of the crapware.
1 - Gitmo - no closure, not even tribunals or due process of law. Just nothing 2 - Drone murders - Earning that nobel peace prize 3 - Universal Health Care - locked in rate increases with minimal benefits. Yeah, insurance companies where totally scared. 4 - LGBT rights where fought without Obama weighing in until the end so he could claim victory. 5 - Financial Crisis - hired the fox to guard the henhouse.
Things not mentioned : extension of executive powers - Started by Bush, and ramrodded by Obama. Wars - yeah, we are totally not fighting five wars right now. Ignoring Humanitarian crisis in Africa - Why no love here.. oh, no oil... Constitutional Professor - yet completely ignorant of international treaties around crime / POW / etc... Zero leadership of his party. It's like they intentionally went out of their way to avoid doing him any favors.
I could go on, but the basic gist is the Obama presidency has been just as bad as W's. And Clinton looks to keep the hits coming. And if Trump wins, hopefully the next species to inherit the earth once the Radiation settles can learn from our mistakes.
I think the issue is that we are running 16 years straight of the worst presidential / governing we have ever had. Almost like a "Dark Age" in american politics, and neither future choice seems to move away from the decay.
I think that the difference here is that given the current trends, it is foreseeable that mining,transporting,burning,disposing of fossil fuels will out cost renewable sources. If you think back to the 70's, nobody was doing wind efficiently. Now, there are wind farms all over the place. If energy storage / refill becomes easier in cars, you better believe that in 10 years gas stations will be uncommon, if not rare. Sort of like the transition from leaded to unleaded. It may take a decade or two, but I believe that my daughter will never drive a gasoline operated vehicle outside of "fun."
Actually, if HP did go straight to x86, they might have fared better. But they made a huge misstep with IA-64, and hung HP on a more obscure, unstable architecture than anyone else. At that point, they started leaking huge amounts of midn-share, and intel/linux was consistently 1/2 to 1/3 the cost.
Huh, wah??? The country was in no way founded on slavery. It may have been a major consumer of slavery, but claiming a foundational need for slavery is a little odd, and pushing an agenda based on the talking points of a few self indulgent fat cats. If anything, you could move the needle closer to reality and consider the country founded on oppression, while not a "foundational" principle, it is how we have become who we are. From the indians, to slaves, to immigrants, the population is quick to take advantage of the weak, poor, and defenseless.
If you want a better description, our country was founded by religious extremists exiled from their host countries. Kinda like ISIL, but with someplace unoccupied to go.
In the end, the Dash was killed by the decision to support DRM that required a server side component. This would always wind up costing Sony more to support than the device would ever make. That and the rise of landfill android, and suddenly there was no reason to buy a Dash.
They did inspect them. They just did such a craptacular job, that another lit on fire 2 days ago (luckily off hours). The problem with metro is purely political. Between all of the contracts and oversight, nothing gets done. Situations like this are a prime example why outsourcing in government fails horribly.
Renewable cost so much to develop and manufacture and little to operate over time. For example, Wind Energy requires significant engineering and materials to deal with the stresses in the blades. Also, braking the blades in emergencies is a significant challenge. And solar is in its infancy for large scale usage.
So while you remove the fuel costs, the initial startup costs are much higher for renewables. And the materials are much more complex than simple furnaces and boilers.
Different markets entirely. Virgin was never selling an entry point to space based operations. It has always been a "vomit comet" http://www.livescience.com/291... style ride for rich people. The only thing that may come out of this is commercial sub-orbital aviation, but it would probably a decade after this service operates and returns viable data points. Realistically, the more projects like this start operating, the move efficiency and sustainability of these operations will filter down to "normal" aviation.

Interesting lawsuit potential here, since there may have been no obligation for the "service" to notify authorities when "crash detection" occurs. So does the driver then have any recourse against the service for publishing here data without consent? It seems highly suspect that the service would willy nilly report an accident after talking to the driver and being specifically told that the situation was "all clear."
In this case, the car did exactly what it was designed to do. The issue is that the service may have mishandled customer information. What safety checks are in place to ensure the service doesn't just randomly manufacture these events?

Like how filipinos are not considered asians by other asians? Yeah, stereotypes get funny.

But the fix is in, so no use in arguing over it.

Don't confuse elitist CA politics with a consensus view.
Don't worry, systemd will correct this long standing bug, and we will rejoice that it has saved us from 30 years of computing standards.
Yeah, how dare the FBI look at your data. That's Facebook / Apple / google / MSFT's job.

Trying to figure out if the author is shilling some service, or just woefully inept? Ah, but what can you expect from a CIO focused article...
But it's a millenial telling you about it...

Ahhh.. the old days of natalie portman and hot grits... Which I still don't fully get to this day...
No claiming the old way is a failure, lets try the new way allows for multiple things...
1 - Eliminating incumbents
2 - Allow a complete project reboot
3 - Time until the customer realizes your incompetent also
This is why the current government outsourcing model will fail, and continue to fail. There is no incentive to "measure twice, cut once."
